Kaoru walks through her school
gate. Her new school. She tucked her hair behind her ear, the spring
breeze messed up her hair a little bit.
Finally, after passing the final
exam in autumn—and days of waiting during the winter holiday—Kaoru has made it through Hoshio Gakuen. She could
remember her friends’ responses on the graduation announcement day. Tears,
hugs, felicitations even envious praises, of course. Hoshio Gakuen is one of
the best high school in town, and it’s not an easy matter to get into it.
“Kaoru!”
Spontaneously she turned her
head. Seeing who’s calling her, she smiled.
“Ohayou, Yuzu-chan!”
That girl—Yuzu, is running
towards her.
“Ohayou!!” Yuzu then
bumped into Kaoru, hug her tightly. They didn’t notice, or perhaps trying to
ignore glances from people around.
“Gosh, we’re high schooler now!”
she yells cheerfully “And it’s even better, Hoshio Gakuen! Shinjirarenai!”
Kaoru chuckled “Yeah. So should
we get in? Being late for the ceremony wouldn't be nice.”
Yuzu nodded, as they walk down the school
front yard along with other freshman. Cherry blossoms are fully bloomed, makes
a nice and sweet feelings in the air. Suddenly the wind blows hard, so then
Kaoru turned away.
Then something— no, someone—
caught her sight. Her eyes widened.
A tall, slender guy, walks
indifferently. His face—she can’t tell whether he’s handsome or not, but he has
a strong expression. And his calm, deep grey orb... Somehow makes him looks
gentle as well. With the wind blows his hair and cherry blossom petals fluttering
around him, he looks so... Amazing. Stunning. Breathtaking...
“Kaoru?”
She snapped back to reality. Yuzu
is looking at her curiously.
“Daijoubu? Did something
get into your eyes or what?”
“Iie,” she could
hardly speak, almost like whispering “D-daijoubu.”
Yuzu winced, but then she decided
not to bother her.
“Sou ne. Now let’s hurry,
looks like the ceremony will started soon!”
She rushes in panic, like whoever
came late will be murdered. Before going after her, Kaoru peeks on her back to
see that guy again.
Unfortunately, he’s already gone.
As she absent-mindedly walks towards
the school, her mind is full of thoughts about that misterious guy.
Who is he? Will I be able to
meet him again?
It’s a clear, bright day in the
spring, on her first day in High School, Kaoru Nakata feels something she’d
never knew before.
Ohayou : Good morning
Shinjirarenai : I can't believe it
Daijoubu/daijoubu? : Okay/are you okay?
Iie : No
Sou ne : I see
Gosh, this is my first short story in whole English! I read manga so much recently... That's why I used Japan as the theme, teehee. It's still a looong way to go, so if there are some misspelled words or unsuitable idiom please let me know, I would be glad :) This story will continue, I'm planning 2 or 3 more chapters but I'm not really sure... Let's just wait and see. Thanks for reading! xoxo
